When a neighbor attribute is updated, need to clear bgp session of this
neighbor. If soft-reconfig is already set on the remote side, clear ip bgp
soft is enough.

Subject: BGP: UPDATE Packet Problem

Hi All,

Question:

If I add a route-map to a BGP neighbour already in ESTABLISHED state and
then prepend AS_PATH attibute, do I need to reset BGP neighbour to get the
new changes in new UPDATE Packet?? I dont see Router sending an UPDATE
packet though i have changed the AS_Path attribute.

When I do a soft-reset I see BGP Router sends out an UPDATE but without
WITHDRAWING the previous route. I have a Linux Zebra BGP Router on other
side, it ignores the UPDATE coming for an existing Route in the table.

Question

Q. Does a BGP neighbour needs to withdraw a route first before sending an
update with same NLRI with modified attribute or sending an UPDATE directly
with modified attributes works?

Help appreciated

thanks
